All them post sound great to me, and yes it is still winter up hear. I hate the cold, after the first snow it is all bad.
I have had nothing to do but plan for my spring projects, this is what I have been doing and all the parts are starting to stack up, warm weather better come fast before I run out of room.
DODGE 3500- Finally install the water injection kit, Put on the Skyjacker dual in-line steering stabilizer, install the Poison spyder rock ring to the front D 60, install a undercover strobe light kit I bought, it goes in the headlights and tail lights.
Ford desert Pre-runner- Install a MSD DIS Ignition controller, Accel coils and MSD 8.5 wires, Install a Volant cold air intake kit and a throttle body spacer from Airaid, Install new chip from Jet performance, Install new 5" monster tach "Cobalt" and gauges all Auto meter along with A-piller mount, then install set of new traction bars. Also I have to install new drilled rotors, calipers and carbon/kevlar pads and shoes, then bleed
Reward will be getting everything done so we can go to the dunes and try it all out.

We'll be some of the last ones thawed out way up here... but new gauges, spray in bedliner, exhaust stacks, tube steps, and propane injection are at the top of the list as soon as the garage/shop sustains a tolerable temp *without* having to burn tons of LP in the heaters just to keep things above freezing

You guy's up there are always getting pounded by the cold. Our local weather man always uses your temps as a "it's not as bad as these guys have it" type of comparisons. I really feel for you, The cold is not a friend of my. I could tolerate it much better when I was younger, but now it simply blows. I think my favorite time of year is spring. Everything looks fresh, it's warm and you really look forward to it so you can get out and enjoy the outdoors. It's also the time of year I do most of my up-grades.

Our spring project will be camping. I am working on whatever needs to be done so as soon as that nice day comes along it will be time to hitch and run. Have spent the last 2 weekends wiring lights, cd player, and up grades to the golf cart. Going to be quite the ride. Neon underneath, tunes cranking, and lit up like a xmas tree with led lights. Tail lights will work with the truck lights as well as the led clearance lights. With the dually towing the lit up golf cart and trailer I should look like a redneck towing the xmas tree. Shouldn't be a problem with someone seeing us at night anyways. Happy trails, dave

I’m hoping to get the money together for some EDMs so when I open up the valve covers to run the rack I can kill two birds with one stone. And clean out my shop so I can get my new lathe and milling machine set up and get my truck in there(that will be a massive job).

I may upgrade to a FASS system but that's it. Maybe upgrade the subs (again ). Other than that, I'm just gonna save my money for a new tranny. If I do decide to spend it, it will be on a lift.

SBC 13" FE, PDR 370's, DM01's 16cm housing for test purposes , also I want to wire up my 55watt reverse lights on a 3 way toggle to come on independently, while in reverse, and to just turn them completely off, I also have a compressor & tank to install for my 24" Grover, and here soon I have will have to decide if I want to Hybrid my HX35 with 190K miles on it or a WH1C off a 94 with only 90K on it.

Decisions Decisions.......man I can't wait for warmer weather!
